We performed a comparison between Appian and Bizagi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Appian has many valuable features, the first being the ease of development—rapid development. Second, the process of learning the product and tool is faster when compared to its peers in the market. It's closer to low-code, and while it's still not very easy, it's more low-code than other products in the industry. Appian has a good user interface, a seamless model user interface, which comes without additional coding. It can also integrate with multiple systems."
"Even with an on-premise implementation, the scalability is still high, so it is easy to scale up."
"The technical support is excellent."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"Appian's most valuable features are the quick time it takes to develop for the market. It's easy and faster than other BPM solutions."
"The most productive aspect of Appian lies in its ability to develop interfaces, particularly user interfaces. Creating user interfaces is highly productive, when these interfaces are integrated with the original database. In such cases, using record types proves to be a very efficient method of handling data. The synergy between interfaces and record types enhances productivity."
"Call Web Service Smart Service - Web service integrations with other systems are super simple and fast to create, supported by low code menus."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"The most beneficial features of Bizagi for our business processes are its seamless connectivity between process elements and its ability to automate tasks and perform simulations."
"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"I like that Bizagi is fully compatible with BPMN 2.0. It also eases the way in which we work with BPMN 2.0 itself, which is a comprehensive and rather complex notation standard."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature."
"If that had more DevOps capabilities, it would be an excellent product."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"Appian has a few areas for improvement, which my organization raised with the Appian team. One is the Excel output which is limited to fifty columns when it should be up to two hundred or three hundred columns."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"It should provide the ability to create a simple application. It can be used for database modeling diagrams and forms, but it should also support CRUD, that is, create, read, update and delete."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"There could be more documentation."
"Also, the tool sometimes feels not so mature when we find random deploy errors from testing to production environment."
